2. Use of Materials

The Site is for your personal use only. You may not use the Site for commercial purposes or in any way that is unlawful, or harms us or any other person or entity.
All information, functions and materials (“Materials”) contained on the Site are the copyrighted property or the copyrighted property of Early Ascent or Early Ascent’s licensors or licensees. All trademarks, slogans, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are proprietary to Early Ascent and/or Early Ascent’s licensors or licensees. We may change the Site or delete Materials or features at any time, in any way, for any reason.

Except as we specifically agree in writing, no Materials from the Site may be used, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise exploited in any way other than as part of the Site, not even as part of a derivative work, except that where the Site is configured to enable the download of particular Materials, you may download one copy of such Materials to a single computer for your personal, noncommercial home use only, provided that you (a) keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices, (b) make no modifications to, and do not rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, copy (except to create a single copy for your own back-up purposes), or create any derivative works based on the Site or the Materials, in whole or in part, and (c) do not use the Materials in an unlawful manner or in a manner that suggests an association with any of Early Ascent’s products, services or brands.

You acknowledge and agree that nothing in these Terms of Use shall have the effect of transferring the ownership of any copyrights, trademarks, slogans, service marks, trade names, trade dress or other proprietary rights in the Site or Materials or any part thereof to you or any third party nor to authorize you to create derivative works based on the Materials. You undertake not to do any act or thing which is inconsistent with or which is likely in any way to prejudice such title.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

7. Links

10. Governing Law and General Provisions

Subject to the requirements of applicable consumer rights and other laws, these terms of use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington and controlling U.S. federal law, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. If any provision of these terms of use shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms of use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These terms of use take effect as an agreement and separately as a notice, which limits the basis on which Early Ascent makes the Site available. No waiver of any provision of these terms of use by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms of use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. In these terms of use, the word “including” is used illustratively, as if followed by the words “but not limited to.”
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any cause of action you may have arising out of or related to these terms of use or the site must commence within one (1) year (or the minimum applicable statutory period, if longer) after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action shall be permanently barred.
